Litany of Spiritual Confidence

Litany of Spiritual Confidence
Listed in the Magnificat Publicaton, March 2007

Rx Lord, keep me close to you.

Lord, whenever I fall you delight in my confidence to trust you all the more. Rx
Lord, let me look to you and not to myself to find what is needed to please you. Rx
Lord, when I am overcome by fear it is because my peace depends on some things instead of on your will. Rx.
Lord, free me from my hidden attachments to self-righteousness. Rx
Lord, let me always remember that it is you who move me to ask for your love. Rx
Lord, help me to see the meaning of my faults is to learn to depend on you more and more. Rx
Lord, give me the strength to cry out for your love when all that I see is nothingness in myself. Rx
Lord, save me from the impulse to look for my peace and security in my own strength. Rx
Lord, the more you let me see what I am left to myself, the more you give me the grace to cling to you. Rx
Lord, to be happy, I need nothing but what you provide for me at every moment. Rx
Lord, the more I live in the love you give me in this moment, the more perfectly I am able to suffer whatever comes my way. Rx
Lord, when I come to you at those times when I am overwhelmed by my own misery I glorify you the most. Rx
Lord, it is in being receptive to you in the knowledge of my own weakness that I derive all my strength. Rx
Lord, let me always remember that you want me to let you make me perfect by your love. Rx
Lord, the measure of my union with you is my faith in the power of your love to purify me and make me worthy of you. Rx

Litany of Humility

O Jesus meek and humble of heart, hear me.

From the desire of being esteemed, deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being being extolled, deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being honored, deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being praised, deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being preferred to others, deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being consulted, deliver me, Jesus.

From the desire of being approved, deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being humiliated, deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being despised, deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of suffering rebukes, deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being calumniated, deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being forgotten, deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being wronged, deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being suspected, deliver me, Jesus.

That others may be loved more than I, Jesus grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be more esteemed than I, Jesus grant me the grace to desire it.

That in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease, Jesus grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be chosen and I set aside, Jesus grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be praised and I unnoticed, Jesus grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may be preferred to me in everything, Jesus grant me the grace to desire it.

That others may become holier than I, provided that I become as holy as I should, Jesus grant me the grace to desire it. Amen.
